Statement of Work

Ref: 2026-001 • Standard Business Template

Deliverable Review

The Designer will submit project milestones, including wireframes, visual mockups, and staging links, through the MicroFreelanceHub platform for formal client review. The Client agrees to review all submitted landing page assets on both desktop and mobile viewports within the agreed review window.

Acceptance Criteria

Project deliverables will be deemed accepted when they meet the following specific criteria outlined prior to project kickoff:

  • Visual alignment with approved Figma wireframes and brand guidelines.
  • Functional form submissions, button hover states, and active destination URLs.
  • Responsive rendering across standard mobile, tablet, and desktop viewports.
  • Successful embedding of agreed third-party tracking scripts or CRM forms.

Revision Limits

This project includes up to two (2) rounds of consolidated design revisions during the review stage. Revisions must be submitted in a single, written feedback log per round. Requests that alter agreed copy structure, introduce new section layouts, or redefine core functionality fall outside included revisions and require a separate change order.

Approval Deadline

The Client has five (5) business days from submission to provide written feedback or sign off on deliverables. If no feedback or written objection is received within this timeframe, the deliverable will be automatically marked as approved, enabling the Designer to issue the final payment link.

Final Payment

Formal written approval triggers the release of the final invoice link. The Designer maintains full ownership of all design files, Webflow or Framer project transfers, custom scripts, and domain routing until the final balance is paid in full.

Post-Approval Changes

Any modification requested after formal sign-off is executed—including adjustments to layout, copy, tracking pixels, or integrations—will be treated as a new scope item. These post-approval changes will be billed at the Designer’s standard hourly rate or under a new MicroFreelanceHub scope agreement.

Subjective Aesthetic Creep

Clients stalling final payment because they feel the page 'doesn't convert yet' or want endless color, font, and layout iterations post-delivery.

Hostage Asset Handover

Releasing Webflow transfers, Framer remixes, or source vector files before the client executes the final approval and triggers the payment link.

Third-Party Integration Debacles

Getting blamed and unpaid when a client's CRM, email platform, or custom tracking pixel fails despite your design meeting all visual criteria.

What is a Landing Page Designer Project Approval and Payment Agreement?

A Landing Page Designer Project Approval and Payment Agreement is a legally sound contract workflow that binds design deliverables—such as Figma mockups, responsive builds, and form setups—to formal client sign-offs and payment releases. It protects designers from scope creep, enforces revision limits, and secures final payment before asset transfers.

Built from real freelance projects

This template is based on real-world scenarios across freelance projects where unclear scope, missing payment terms, and revision creep led to lost revenue. It is designed to protect your time, define expectations, and ensure you get paid.

Why Landing Page Designers need a clear project approval and payment agreement

Landing page designers face a unique set of challenges where client satisfaction is tied to subjective aesthetics and conversion expectations. Without a structured approval and payment agreement, clients often delay final payment links while demanding endless revisions, custom code tweaks, or desktop/mobile layout shifts after seeing live traffic. A dedicated approval contract locks in specific acceptance criteria, such as Figma mockup approvals, responsive mobile rendering, and CTA button functionality. By tying explicit sign-off milestones to deposit releases and final invoice authorizations, landing page designers protect their working capital and prevent endless post-launch scope creep. Using MicroFreelanceHub, you bind project approvals directly to instant payment links, ensuring that your work is formally accepted before design assets, code, or Webflow transfers are handed over. This eliminates ambiguous verbal sign-offs and creates an unassailable audit trail that defends your hard-earned design fees.

Real-world scenario

Sarah, a freelance landing page designer, completed a high-converting sales page for a SaaS client. After delivering the mobile and desktop views, the client verbally said 'Looks great!' on a call. Sarah transferred the Webflow project to their account. Two days later, the client hired a new marketing director who requested a complete layout redesign and custom API scripts, while refusing to pay the remaining 50% balance. Because Sarah relied on an informal conversation, she had no documented proof of acceptance. With MicroFreelanceHub's Landing Page Approval Agreement, Sarah would have sent a formal deliverable review link requiring explicit written acceptance of the desktop and mobile layouts before transferring the site. Once signed, the workflow automatically releases the final payment link, preventing post-launch scope creep and securing her remaining fees before assets are handed off.

🛡️ What this project approval and payment agreement covers:

  • Figma wireframes and high-fidelity desktop/mobile landing page designs
  • Interactive prototype with defined typography, UI components, and CTA states
  • Production-ready page build (Webflow/Framer/WordPress) with responsive layouts
  • Form integration, custom domain routing, and tracking pixel setup validation

Best practices for Landing Page Designers

Separate Design Approval from Live Integration

Require formal sign-off on visual layouts and mobile responsiveness in Figma before beginning platform staging or custom domain routing.

Gate Asset Handoff Behind Payment Link Execution

Never transfer Webflow project ownership or export raw source files until the final payment milestone is processed through your agreement link.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if a client requests revisions after signing the approval agreement?

Once written approval is executed in MicroFreelanceHub, any post-approval requests fall outside the project scope and are quoted separately as add-ons or billed at an hourly rate before work begins.

How does this agreement prevent payment delays during platform transfers?

The contract explicitly mandates that Webflow/Framer transfers, domain connection, or raw code handoffs only occur after the final milestone payment link has cleared successfully.
